World Between Worlds is the first novel of a two-part series based on the early life of Caterina di Giacomo da Siena, better known as St. Catherine of Siena—one of the most dynamic and beloved saints of the Middle Ages.
And now, as a special gift to my readers, I’m offering the first chapter for free in this audio version.
In the words of Franci Revel Eckensberger of Paloma & Fig:
“In Jenny duBay’s vivid Siena, we’re placed in a medieval atmosphere of church bells and incense drifting on the air, candles flickering over a tumultuous childbirth, the austerity of the curia a setting all its own. Plague stalks the entire work and infuses the mystical with inevitable mortality. We touch the raw wool that Catherine’s father dyes for a living and feel the arid heat of a city in perpetual drought, inhabited by a people marked by war and political turmoil. Though focused on Catherine’s young life, World Between Worlds lays the foundation for everything that is to follow. The woman who would go on to help return the papacy to Rome and change countless lives across centuries is illustrated by duBay with honor and curiosity. Humanized yet never diminished from her saintly status, this Catherine fears her own selfishness, navigates her lack of formal education, and is acutely attentive to others’ perceptions. She is given a self-consciousness and a rich private life that doesn’t tip into hagiographic flatness or tedium.”
